Party style for blokes

Brought to you by Johnny Bigg

We all know that party season is coming up – there are going to be BBQs, after work drinks, Christmas parties … you name it. We’ve already talked about what us babes could wear, but what about our dudes? My partner is very much a band tee and black cargo shorts kind of guy most of the time so we had a hunt at Johnny Bigg for a couple of outfits that will see him through the summer party season looking good but still in a style he is comfortable in.

THE CASUAL EVENT OUTFIT:

Doug likes to wear shorts, and I remembered how much he liked the denim jeans he got from Johnny Bigg earlier in the year, so our first port of call was denim shorts. He chose basic black because that goes with everything and can be dressed up or down – nice and easy! Sneakers are pretty much the shoe of choice in our house, so that one was easy. Doug was looking at black tees, but I put him out of his usual comfort zone and he ended up with a burgundy shirt with a small print in white. I take full responsibility for that and I’m not even sorry because I think it looks great on him! This is a great outfit for when you’re going to casual after work drinks or a BBQ and you want to look nice but not super fancy.

DOUG WEARS: Marling Stretch Print Shirt (2XL), Steve Stretch Denim Shorts (42), Modal Blend Ribbed Socks (8-11) and Essential Trainers (11)

THE FANCY EVENT OUTFIT:

For New Years Eve or a wedding or another kind of fancy event, your dude might want to step up their style. Much like me, Doug is a fan of darker colours so for this outfit he wanted to go for blacks and charcoals. Even though it’s summer here and pretty warm, Doug chose a long sleeved shirt that he could roll up, because he was dead set on pairing it with a waistcoat and matching trousers. What a flash guy! He’s not really a tie kind of guy, but you could totally add a tie to this look if you wanted something more formal.

DOUG WEARS: Remo Textured Rib Dress Shirt (2XLT), Cable Waistcoat (3XLT), Cable Pants (42), Modal Blend Ribbed Socks (8-11) and Cosmo Lace Up Shoes (11)
